INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: To avoid oor damage, set washer onto cardboard

before moving it.

36"

(914 mm)

1. Move washer

It is necessary to remove all shipping materials for proper

operation and to avoid excessive noise from washer.

Move washer to within 4 ft (1.2 m) of its nal location. It must

be in a fully upright position.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

nA 120 volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp, fused electrical

supply is required. A time-delay fuse or circuit breaker is

recommended. It is recommended that a separate circuit

breaker serving only this appliance be provided.

nThis washer is equipped with a power supply cord having

a 3 prong grounding plug.

nTo minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged

into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type outlet, grounded in

accordance with local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet

is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation

of the customer to have the properly grounded outlet installed

by a qualied electrician.

nIf codes permit and a separate ground wire is used, it is

recommended that a qualied electrician determine that

the ground path is adequate.

nDo not ground to a gas pipe.

nCheck with a qualied electrician if you are not sure the

washer is properly grounded.

nDo not have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For a grounded, cord-connected washer:

This washer must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction

or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electrical

shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric

current. This washer is equipped with a cord having an

equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The

plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is

properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances.

WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in

doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will

not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified

electrician.

For a permanently connected washer:

This washer must be connected to a grounded metal,

permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding

conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and

connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on

the appliance.

2. Locate transport bolts

Locate four transport bolts on rear of washer.

Loosen bolts with a 13 mm (1/2") wrench. Slide each bolt and

spacer to center of hole. Pull bolts and plastic spacers from

back of washer. Discard bolts and spacers.

3. Remove transport bolts from

washer

Close bolt holes on cabinet back with four transport bolt hole

plugs included with washer parts.

4. Cover bolt holes with transport

bolt hole plugs

Pull power cord through opening in rear panel and close hole

with attached cap.

NOTE: If washer is transported at later date, call your

local service center to avoid suspension and structural

damage, a certied technician must properly set up

washer for relocation.

5. Remove power cord

CONNECT DRAIN HOSE

6. Place power cord over top

Remove the yellow shipping strap from the cord. Gently

place power cord over top of washer to allow free access

to back of washer.

IMPORTANT: Do not plug washer in until installation has

been completed.

If clamp is not already in place on elbow end of drain hose,

squeeze clamp with pliers and slide it over end of hose,

centering it between the ribs, as shown. Squeeze clamp with

pliers and slide elbow end of drain hose onto drain port and

secure with clamp.

For a laundry tub or standpipe drain, go to step 9.

For a oor drain, remove the preinstalled drain hose form

as shown in Step 8. You may need additional parts with

separate directions. See “Alternative Parts”.

7. Attach drain hose to drain port

Ribs

Run water for a few seconds through hoses into a laundry

tub, drainpipe, or bucket to avoid clogs. Water should run

until clear.

11. Clear water lines

CONNECT INLET HOSES

Washer must be connected to water faucets with new inlet

hoses with at washers. Do not use old hoses.

NOTE: Both hoses must be attached and have water owing

to inlet valves. For optimal performance, hot and cold water

must be supplied to the washer.

Attach hose to hot water faucet. Screw on coupling by hand

until it is seated on washer. Use pliers to tighten couplings an

additional two-thirds turn. Repeat this step with second hose

for cold water faucet.

IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten or use tape or sealants on

valve when attaching to faucets or washer. Damage can result.

HELPFUL TIP: Make note of which hose is connected to hot

water to help in attaching hoses to washer correctly. In most

standard congurations, hoses will cross over each other

when attached correctly.

LEVEL WASHER

Leveling your washer properly reduces excess noise and

vibration.

Remove cardboard from beneath washer.

Place a level on top edges of washer,

checking each side and front. If not level, tip washer and

adjust feet up or down as shown in steps 17 and 18, repeating

as necessary.

15. Check levelness of washer

place level here

16. Rock washer to test foot contact

Grip washer from top and rock back and forth, making sure all

four feet are rmly on oor. Repeat, rocking washer from side

to side. If washer rocks, go to step 17 and adjust leveling feet.

If all four feet are in rm contact with oor, go to Step 18.

12. Connect inlet hoses to washer

Not Level LEVEL Not Level

Attach hot water hose to hot water inlet valve marked with a

red ring. Screw coupling by hand until it is snug. Use pliers to

tighten couplings an additional two-thirds turn. Repeat with

cold water inlet valve.

IMPORTANT: To reduce risk of hose failure, replace the hoses

every 5 years. Record hose installation or replacement dates

for future reference.

nPeriodically inspect and replace hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts,

wear, or leaks are found.

Slowly turn on water faucets to check for leaks. A small

amount of water may enter washer. It will drain later.
